2007 AAR & SBL Panels Highlighting WJK Publications

WJK is particularly pleased to announce several major new projects that involve numerous writers, editors, and contributors. A new preaching commentary, Feasting on the Word, is intended for those who preach using the Revised Common Lectionary. This is a groundbreaking series of twelve volumes published over three years. The general editors, Barbara Brown Taylor and David Bartlett, are backed by a stellar editorial team and Columbia Theological Seminary. These books feature writings on four distinct perspectives for each lection and will include contributions from hundreds of top scholars and preachers. The series promises to be an invaluable and unparalleled tool for biblical preaching.
